Telehealth
Differently
At Hunter Coast Therapy we do Telehealth a little bit differently to what most people assume. We understand the benefits of Telehealth and sometimes face to face therapy can be difficult. We use technology to ensure you achieve your goals. Our Telehealth sessions come in many different shapes and forms.
​
Some examples of our Telehealth tricks include:
-
Using screen share
-
Interactive technology
-
Movement games
-
Mobile devices
-
Video and camera functions
We may provide URL links, instructions or resources prior to your appointment. We can also request your carers, parents or other supports be present to assist. Hunter Coast Therapy will work with you to arrange any props or equipment needed.
